FASHION & ACCESSORIES

Despite what your banker may say, Haute Couture pieces, iconic bags, and designer dresses are in high demand at auctions. You no longer have to feel guilty about buying these collector's items or vintage luxury articles from the most famous fashion houses because they have become a real investment for an international clientele. Also, nowadays, second-hand luxury items interst the heritage departments of major luxury fashion houses as well as museums looking to invest in the fashion industry.
 

 

CHANEL, HERMÈS, DIOR, AND MANY MORE... BIG NAMES AND HOUSES, FOR ITEMS WITH STORIES.

We regularly organize auctions dedicated to these fascinating pieces. It's a very dynamic ecosystem, things move quickly, and prices can quickly skyrocket. Do you have Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Comme des Garçons, Alaïa, Hermès filling up your closet? (Lucky you...) Whether you have a luxury clothing collection or simply own branded bags or accessories, let's review their value together – you might be surprised. And because a piece of jewelry always completes an outfit, we also focus on Haute Couture jewelry from designers like Baretti, Gripoix, Goossens, Chanel, Balenciaga, Dior, Lanvin, or Hervé Van der Straeten.

Believe us—fashion is worth it!
Let’s assess the value of your pieces together.

The Dior Haute Couture sale from the personal collection of Mrs. Mouna Ayoub, which took place on Thursday, 29 January 2026 at the Hôtel Le Bristol Paris, achieved a 100% sell-through rate, attracted more than 1,000 visitors, and set four world records, including an absolute record for a Haute Couture sale with a total of €6,187,610.

This sale surpassed our previous record, previously held by the historic sale of a Martin Margiela collection organized on 27 January 2025, which reached €1,889,000, once again confirming fashion as a major investment.
